Produktbeschreibung
Celebrating the University of Auckland's quasquicentennial, this lavishly illustrated volume--written by an alumnus--not only highlights the history of the institution but also reflects the growth and development of tertiary education in New Zealand itself. Delving into the university's humble beginnings, the guide details its evolution from a small school with just four professors and 95 students to the largest university in New Zealand with more than 40,000 students on five campuses. Uncovering frequent early controversies about funding, status, and its site--originally an unused courthouse and jail--this comprehensive pictorial chronicles the university's prodigious expansion, embracement by local and regional communities, and eventual ascent to high international status as a member of the elite Universitas 21 network of research-intensive universities.
